Opteron EE lineup debuts with 40W thermal envelope

New Opterons ahoy! AMD has added 12 new models to its server and workstation processor lineup, simultaneously bringing its lowest-power and highest-clocked quad-core Opterons yet. The most energy-efficient offerings have ACP ratings of just 40W, while the fastest new Opterons run at up to 3.1GHz—although that speed comes at the cost of a more imposing 105W rating.

Looks inviting! I was pondering but not planning a new build seeing a Phenom II X4 model seeing that the AMD quads were late. Between Fall of this year and early with clearance like Black Friday a new Opteron quad sounds about right!
The 105w won't be a problem since the 6000 X2 now in is the 125w model already. Plus I was looking at the newer version of the case used presently! New build in time for 7?!
